I received my caddy today, so far I like it however it makes a very loud clicking sound when you roll it back and forth. Did anyone else have this?

I have 2 caddy's one for a stand mixer and one for a food processor. They both click but seem to work just fine.

Yes, but I didn't really consider it an issue. It will probably be less annoying after your first cup of coffee.

Mine does not make a clicking noise. Opens fairly smoothly. I have porcelain counters which are not as smooth as granite or other surfaces. Hope this helps.

Mine didn't click but opens pretty smoothly. Did you check for any stuck packing materials? Good luck.

No clicking noise. It wobbles a bit, but I'm using it on an uneven surface tile countertop. Generally it does the job and I'm pretty please with it.

Compared with the screw caps form the PET bottles, yes it makes some noise. There's a "click" sound.

Lol!!!! I just found out. Been searching the internet with same problem. I'm usually good with these things so I was quite frustrated not being able to figure it out, almost broke the darn thing trying to use a small screwdriver as someone had suggested. Anyway the answer is.... (drumroll please) It is AUTO-tilt; so once its been completely opened, continuing to crank the mechanism (I know scary, I was worried I'd break it) actually starts working the tilt mechanism!

No I have not had that problem. It sounds like a manufacturing problem. Hope you get it figured out.. Cheers!!

The concern should be the width of your machine. If its wider than the base of the Caddy I could see that being an issue.

Mine has not had a problem. I use it to unload the groceries and to move things around the house. It is the best one I have seen. Very sturdy, yet light. Instead of glue, I might tape if I had a problem, but so far so good!

Just assembled it. Right wheel was squeaking. I unscrewed both the wheels and noticed the one squeaking is loose because it was defective. Unscrew just the 2 wheels and compare side by side, check if one of them has a deeper hole or not. Will be trying to order the defective part. Wish me luck.

ours has started having issues this season as well, ( less than a year old) I plan to open it up and see if there may be debris or chemical buildup restricting the moving parts..... not sure if there is a fix? would like to hear what problems/fixes others have had as well

I figured out what the sound is, I think... There is a plastic ring inside the ring that screws on and on mine, the plastic ring is broken, thus the clicky sound because the inner shaft can't get tight.

With the quality of this product, I don't believe you will have that problem. It is extremely well made and unless you overstuff it (which I don't believe will be necessary) it shouldn't rip at all. My suggestion is to keep the information you receive with the caddy and contact the manufacturer if you have any problem.

I'm with you Michele. There are two different sounds: the normal ratcheting the other commenters mention, and the "oh dear, I really think I just broke it" sound, which is accompanied by me having to push much harder than normal down on the lid. I've found this second sound occurs when the bag is somewhat full, and is a result of the closing mechanism being unable to twist the bag. I think it's a serious design flaw...we live in an apartment, and the people below us can hear the pail closing when it makes that second sound. Not great at 2am!

I have a cart that I used for moving and use to move boxes around etc. I have never had this sound in mine but I would suggest contacting sparco themselves - also you probably have a warranty on it. If the sound comes from the wheels, it could be the bearings.

I just looked at mine. I noticed that I also had something rattling around inside. Sounded like a small piece of plastic. I saw no easy way to open. It doesn't affect the operation. I'm going to leave it and not worry about it. It's probably just something loose from the manufacturing process.

Yes, mine began to rust almost immediately at the point where the chrome enters the caddy. I had four. Eventually they all broke at the hinge points where the caddy connects with the side grippers.

Yes, the clicking noise seems to be a 'normal' thing. Mine has done it from the beginning. I was not as worried about it as several reviews I read before purchasing mentioned the same clicking noise. The noise has continued and the mixer works great. (I owned for 1 year). Soooo I guess it is to be expected -- ie 'normal'!

Mine makes sort of a click noise but that is it. Mine is several years old though so guess they could of changed it. Very reliable little fan though!

I had the same issue a few weeks after using it. With mine, it was a small gap between the arm and the wheel on the axle in back. I tied a small piece of string around the gap on the axle, sort of a washer, and it stopped the clicking sound.
